Title: Map update for satnav RNS 510
Post by: Woody.Guern on October 15, 2013, 08:11:15 pm: Hello All,

After a recent trip over to England, I need to update my Maps! Apparrantly the A4 now has a tunnel, and Weymouth has new roads since the Olympics.

I have the following:

RNS 510
Delivery part No 1T0035680C
HW-VERSION HO4
SW-VERSION 2760
SV SW VERSION C-EU-9.242-T520
HW VEHICLE 0XC001

MAP VERSION 3 (!)
ACTIVE MAP COVERAGE EUROPE
ACTIVE MAP SUPPLIER NAVTEQ
MAP VERSION HDD 6317

I have seen the following, and would like to know if anybody has tried this product, and if so does it work?

Thanks for any help or advice.

Woody

And I'm sure someone will offer help on the Map V9 issue.

Thanks for your reply.
I have used that thread when I updated the firmware last year, but It didnt have any effect on the maps, which I think needs seperate software. Have read that the VW map update is £198, the alternative in my link is only £29......hence why I ask if its ok.

Thanks again,

Woody

In addition to upgrading your maps, you have to also upgrade your unit's 2760 firmware to get the 7 digit post code option.

My understanding is that the 7 digit postcode only appeared with the later firmware versions BUT if you say you have it with FW version 2760, I'm not going to doubt you.

Post by: galaxie500 on October 29, 2013, 12:28:35 am: I can guarantee I have 7 digit postcode entry - it drove me mad when it was only 5 digit! Here are screenshots of my 'secret menu' and the unit serial number, FW & Map version numbers. I'd like to upgrade further if there's a benefit but I understand with my early RNS it could be risky.

Thanks for replies, forgot to mention I updated firmware to 3810. Will 7920 with this firm ware give me the 7 digit postcode?

Thanks, Woody
